### Present Apple-like alert & toast in SwiftUI
## π Example
## π Overview
Currently in SwiftUI, the only way to inform the user about some process that finished for example, is by using `Alert`. Sometimes, you just want to pop a message that tells the user that something completed, or his message was sent. Apple doesn't provide any other method rather than using `Alert` even though Apple using all kinds of different pop-ups. The results are poor UX where the user would need to tap "OK/Dismiss" for every little information that he should be notified about.
Alert Toast is an open-source library in Github to use with SwiftUI. It allows you to present popups that don't need any user action to dismiss or to validate. Some great usage examples: `Message Sent`, `Poor Network Connection`, `Profile Updated`, `Logged In/Out`, `Favorited`, `Loading` and so on...
* Built with pure SwiftUI.
* 3 Display modes: `Alert` (pop at the center), `HUD` (drop from the top) and `Banner` (pop/slide from the bottom).
* `Complete`, `Error` `SystemImage`, `Image`, `Loading`, and `Regular` (Only Text).
* Supports Light & Dark Mode.
* Works with **any** kind of view builder.
* Localization support.
* Font & Background customization.

## π» Installation
### Cocoapods
[AlertToast Cocapods Website](https://cocoapods.org/pods/AlertToast)
CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. For usage and installation instructions, visit their website. To integrate `AlertToast` into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:
```ruby
pod 'AlertToast'
```
------
### Swift Package Manager
The [Swift Package Manager](https://swift.org/package-manager/) is a tool for managing the distribution of Swift code. Itβs integrated with the Swift build system to automate the process of downloading, compiling, and linking dependencies.
To integrate `AlertToast` into your Xcode project using Xcode 12, specify it in `File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency...`:
```ogdl
https://github.com/elai950/AlertToast.git, :branch="master"
```
------
### Manually
If you prefer not to use any of dependency managers, you can integrate `AlertToast` into your project manually. Put `Sources/AlertToast` folder in your Xcode project. Make sure to enable `Copy items if needed` and `Create groups`.
## π§³ Requirements
- iOS 13.0+ | macOS 11+
- Xcode 12.0+ | Swift 5+
## π Usage
First, add `import AlertToast` on every `swift` file you would like to use `AlertToast`.
Then, use the `.toast` view modifier:
**Parameters:**
- `isPresenting`: (MUST) assign a `Binding` to show or dismiss alert.
- `duration`: default is 2, set 0 to disable auto dismiss.
- `tapToDismiss`: default is `true`, set `false` to disable.
- `alert`: (MUST) expects `AlertToast`.
#### Usage example with regular alert
```swift
import AlertToast
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View{
@State private var showToast = false
var body: some View{
VStack{
Button("Show Toast"){
showAlert.toggle()
}
}
.toast(isPresenting: $showToast){
// `.alert` is the default displayMode
AlertToast(type: .regular, title: "Message Sent!")
//Choose .hud to toast alert from the top of the screen
//AlertToast(displayMode: .hud, type: .regular, title: "Message Sent!")
//Choose .banner to slide/pop alert from the bottom of the screen
//AlertToast(displayMode: .banner(.slide), type: .regular, title: "Message Sent!")
}
}
}
```
#### Complete Modifier Example
```swift
.toast(isPresenting: $showAlert, duration: 2, tapToDismiss: true, alert: {
//AlertToast goes here
}, onTap: {
//onTap would call either if `tapToDismis` is true/false
//If tapToDismiss is true, onTap would call and then dismis the alert
}, completion: {
//Completion block after dismiss
})
```
### Alert Toast Parameters
```swift
AlertToast(displayMode: DisplayMode,
type: AlertType,
title: Optional(String),
subTitle: Optional(String),
custom: Optional(AlertCustom))
//This is the available customizations parameters:
AlertCustom(backgroundColor: Color?,

#### Alert dialog view modifier (with default settings):
```swift
.toast(isPresenting: Binding, duration: Double = 2, tapToDismiss: true, alert: () -> AlertToast , onTap: () -> (), completion: () -> () )
```
#### Simple Text Alert:
```swift
AlertToast(type: .regular, title: Optional(String), subTitle: Optional(String))
```
